In any given year, getting a flu shot can be a helpful way to keep yourself healthy. But this year, getting a flu shot can do more than just keep you healthy — it can help save the lives of others too.
Because this year hospitals and health systems are on the front lines of an unprecedented global pandemic. Doctors, nurses, and all hospital staff are working around the clock to ensure care for every patient affected by COVID-19. By staying safe and healthy this flu season, we can all help relieve the pressure on our local hospitals during this difficult year.
Take a moment to check out some resources to help you navigate this unique flu season — including where to get your vaccination if you choose to do so:
Even in past years, the annual flu season places a heavy burden on our nation's health care system. The 2018-2019 flu season alone saw over half a million hospitalizations.
But right now, hospitals are already overstretched as they continue to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. One way you can help them is by taking the proper precautions to lower your risk of getting the flu — including getting vaccinated.
It's imperative that we all do our part to help relieve the pressure on hospitals and preserve the vital resources they need to provide care to all. Check out this helpful, curated information on flu prevention, including where and how to get your flu shot.
Thank you,
Coalition to Protect America's Health Care
